Unity Game Optimization Tutorial

[@ToadieBog]

Try Unity, a next-gen graphics engine! Step 1 - Make a decent looking game Step 2 - Disable "next gen" graphics Step 3 - Try to sell your potato game

follow these steps if you want to make it playable for mobile

[@Timothymukansi]

Best way to improve performance without turning off post processing is to reduce poly count of the car model using Blender. 1M verts in a camera view is too high for mobile games.

[@legendaryitem2815]

You can cut down the verts rendered by creating various LoDs for objects. Also, a lot of performance boosts are not graphics related. You can save a ton of frames by optimizing your code, particularly anything occurring during Update(). Its amazing how you can tinker for days saving 3 or 4 frames here and there tweaking graphics yet have some unnecessarily expensive code lingering that is costing you a ton of frames.

[@pabloslab]

true , but you cant explain everything in one video, there is a new video coming explaining how update affects the framerate

[@samsidpradeep3114]

I would go into blender and decimate the interior to reduce the polygon count but still have the effect.

[@sideways-885]

Actually occlusion culling somtimes decreases the preformance of the game, but good video keep it up bro :)

[@LazyCliqueOFC]

True

Has it happened to you?

[@sideways-885]

@@MaggotMcFly yup

[@byEVxL]

That’s wrong actually, this guy just has a bad pc, I’ve had games way bigger than this and I get like 200 FPS

[@hakanviajando]

@@euMYTHIC The reason for this is, if you game's performance is capped on cpu. Since occlusion will use more cpu, you will slow down your game. No need to use occlusion if gpu is not the bottleneck. Always profile and measure your game before deciding on any optimization path. Premature optimization is actually a bad thing, it can increase the bottleneck and also a lost of developer time.

[@watercat1248]

You forgot reduced haw fur to see the camera and to add lod in your object in the order to increase the performance

[@mukulkataria9128]

You should try changing terrain setting height map resolution. Also try to use mesh terrain where's possible. Unity terrain has high overhead for CPU

[@Meowzors]

You could also possibly bake all the different meshes and materials that are part of the car's body into one material and mesh with a modeling program. Same with all the other objects in your scene. However, you might want to do that last until you got the final look of the game down.

[@joshpolman201]

You could also optimize the landscape settings. This can save huge amounts of performance.

[@pabloslab]

terrain system has built in LOD that automatically saves fps , pair that with culling and u got perfection

[@joshpolman201]

pablo Yeah it has it in built in, but you’ve got adjust the settings to optimise it: To do so, make sure “Draw Instanced” is checked, and adjust the “pixel error slider” until you have an acceptable balance between performance and quality. An example: setting the slider to 0 results in 300-400k on one of my levels in game, while setting the slider to 15 results in 30k - and this is only on one landscape. I think it defaults to 5, which is a good starting point (ends up with 80k in my scene). If you’re not adjusting that pixel error slider to suit your game, you’re throwing away FPS, trust me! Have a play, let me know how you go :)

Nice tutorial, my PC runs 30 fps but now the framerate is higher!

[@oozly9291]

?

[@Jiry_XD]

Great Tutorial, Thanks!

[@NadjibBait]

Thank you for the video. But this is not real optimization. This is just disabling things and reducing quality, you basically just did what games do when you select "Low" in the game graphics options. *Optimization* is making your game run faster without *noticeable* visual quality downgrade. Anyway good luck and thank you again for the video!

[@sampletext69420]

Optimized for mobile up to 200fps Me: Why we need 200fps when the refresh rate for normal mobile devices is 60hz?

[@tuncfreeman]

Hello, great video mate👏 👌🏼👍🏼. What do you think think abiut lowering occlusion number 5 to 3 or 2? Does it help fps too? Thank you so much

[@DaniGaming333]

Very nice, although to optimise it, not to offend, but lowering graphics could do it?

[@Shadow_Thief2000]

Basically he took Real Racing 3 and made it Dr. Driving.

[@kyandesutter1364]

Im totally subbing!

[@SwagWizard555]

My game was so badly optimized it used only bloom and color grading in post processing effects, was running on a decent computer, was low poly and the map was procedurally generated and ultra small, barely had any trees, three scripts, AND a few earlier attempts at optimization and it STILL RAN WORSE THAN THIS GAME Edit: turns out my character controller was for some reason dropping my fps SO MUCH to the point where I had to delete it. Thanks unity (:

[@garyasparagus2722]

fraps? YES LET'S gooo!!!!!!

[@bierkules2608]

But what is when I need Post Processing for my game.. kinda wierd video just saying disable everything.. well..

[@MonkeyShark]

I think the video is meant for porting a game to mobile.

[@bierkules2608]

​@@MonkeyShark Still the same question. But I found a work around. Same results with post processing but with own written optimiced shaders for mobile.

[@pabloslab]

you can always bake the shades , which is totally supported by unity , if u are looking for that in mobile video games , however using any sort of pp will cost alot performance wise even color grading costs enough to make the game unplayable on some devices, i hope that gave a some sort of answer to your question my friend

[@bierkules2608]

@@pabloslab yea I already noticed that pp is most likely nothing for mobile. I created a couple of computer games but nothing for mobile yet. So I thought yea pp wouldn't be that big of a deal.. fuck no, its a big deal. :D Thanks boi.

[@joshpolman201]

Ambient occlusion is the big killer. Color grading won’t be any where near as big a performance hit. DOF can slow things down too.

[@aussieraver7182]

Thanks for the tutorial! How come the frames didn't have a big impact when you removed over 500k tris (interior car mesh)? I thought there would be a massive jump in fps.

[@cinegraphics]

Most of this can't be applied to procedurally generated terrain. Unless you wanna let the user wait for 10 minutes until the shadowmaps and occlusion data is generated.

[@pabloslab]

procedural terrain in unity? i don't think thats gona work my man

[@cinegraphics]

@@pabloslab Well, I'm gonna try anyway :)

[@michaelemma6605]

I already knew a lot of this, but it was a good refresher since I haven't been on Unity in a while.

[@v.037]

But the game can't be maked only with small objects... After perfomance decrease for load more fast possible small objects...

[@firedragon5426]

Your system spec tell me please

[@omerfarukbykl6097]

can we bake post processing effects? like color grading

[@omerfarukbykl6097]

inside unity or by changing original models

[@pabloslab]

i think you can only bake in shades not sure if u can bake anything else like post processing

[@joy211191]

I mean what you're basically doing is cutting out things. There's a fine balance between quality and performance. If you want too much quality, performance takes a hit. Cutting out let's say post processing is NOT optimization. This is not something viable. Sorry, but disabling things isn't the option. By that logic, let's remove the camera and get all the frame rate we can.

На самом деле это лишь добавит пару фпс и особо не оптимизирует... есть метод о котором все молчат и почти никто незнает. Вы можете в настройках build settings сменить 32 битный буфер на 64 и отключить в other settings x86 и врубить Arm7 и сменить графический движок на Vulcan и это действительно мущевственно повысит фпс на мобилках и на компе но не так сущевственно и я этим способом на мобиле 30 фпс превратил в 60 но никто не знает об этом способе
